Ashamed to say that I honestly didn’t know much about this pivotal moment in history- the role of the Grand Mosque of Paris in saving Jews from the Nazis during World War 2. The book is based on true events and you can see how much research the author has done in writing this book . Many of the incredible characters in the book pay homage to real life heroes too. I loved the main protagonist Safiyyah - what a feisty , kind hearted , incredible and compassionate girl - loved the friendships/ relationships with other characters in the story . It truly is a fantastic historical fiction book , that I don’t think many people know about . My eldest daughter 14 thoroughly enjoyed it and read it one go too .Superb story telling , captivating, really beautifully written , a book that will truly be enjoyed not only by children (9-13) but may I say adults too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful & Inspiring *by J***N on 23 October 2024* Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan is a powerful, historical children’s novel for ages ten years and older.

Sometimes that felt a little bit fact-dumping, but I wondered if that was my own reading perspective rather than the narrative. Similarly some of the conversations felt like they were a bit unnatural - like they were giving information rather than the characters speaking to each other, and the grandmother character definitely spoke in wise quotations (which I kind of liked as her role but it didn’t feel like natural speech). I loved the protagonist in this - she was appropriately cautious, yet still brave and feisty. Her friendships with many of the characters really jumped off the page and it said a lot about her as a character.This is a slower burning story with less pacey action and much more character development which I really enjoyed. It gave me Rooftoppers meets *insert an amazing WW2 kids fiction - there are many* which I loved.Perfect for a modern audience of young readers, this is a book I would have loved as a kid and thoroughly enjoyed as an adult. ## Frequently Bought Together - Safiyyah's War - The Final Year: Winner of the CLiPPA (CLPE Children's Poetry Award) 2024 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/512497099-safiyyahs-war](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/512497099-safiyyahs-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
